Instructions
  1. In bowl, place sun-dried tomatoes and cover with 2 cups hot water; let soak for 30 minutes.

Spread out on rimmed baking sheet and roast until bell pepper and tomatoes are softened and onion has darkened, about 25 minutes.

  3. Lower oven temperature to 350 F. In small bowl, stir together Parmesan, lemon zest, and thyme. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Mound tablespoonfuls of cheese at least 2 inches apart onto baking sheet and gently flatten out mounds with the back of a spoon, making sure rounds are not touching each other. Bake until cheese looks melted and golden around edges, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn cheese. Remove from oven; do not disturb until completely cooled and firm to the touch, about 20 minutes. Using thin spatula or knife, carefully lift crackers from baking sheet.
  4. If needed, reheat soup in saucepan. Divide soup among serving bowls and serve with Parmesan crisps.
